IDK. I think people would care about #NPR and #PBS if they weren't so pretentious. I watch/read alot of nrk.no for language immersion in #norwegian, and there are some FUN shows on there, radio, podcasts, and that's just what's free, but it's state funded.

Highly recommended as a thoughtful companion to this thread! 🌌🌀✨
